Architectural precast is a refined
concrete building unit manufactured to simulate natural cut stone,
used in unit masonry applications.
Architectural
precast is a masonry product used as a feature, trim, ornament or
facing for both commercial and residential buildings.
Every manufacturer's product has a unique look.
Mesa Precast uses a method of production that produces a surface
that resembles a natural stone finish. The Company also has a casting
method that creates a product that resembles an Old World finish
popular in quality residences and buildings. The company has a color
palatte in earth tones that is available upon request.
Architectural
and ornamental precast is a masonry product that simulates natural
stone in a more cost effective manner. Many architects appreciate
the old world influence this product provides in combination with
wood, brick, stucco and other masonry products.
Architectural and ornamental precast is manufactured
by two distinct methods. The traditional product is a wet-pour design
reinforced by structural steel when the size of pieces require reinforcement.
A new design is reinforced with high density industrial grade glass
fibers. The technical name is Glass Fiber reinforced Concrete or
GFRC. The principle advantage of this product is that it can 50%-75%
lighter than the traditional product. Both products have their place
and are often used on the same project.
When Remodeling with GFRC makes a lot of
sense:
- Weight- No crane needed
- Where Labor Restrictions are an issues
- Second story and above
